Re: which player to buy?

The x5 has a built-in micro, and a line-in. line-in,-out, power and usb
need a small adapter that comes with the player, but is easy to use. or
you go and fetch a docking station (i'd recommend that for any
stationary recordings).

The second hand one might be an option, but i prefer a HD recorder, if
possible. That site lists the ipods as an option, though apparently you'll
have to solder a connector yourself for it to work? Does anyone know if the
IAudio X5 has a connector bundled, cause it seems to need some dock
connector as well? The iaudio X5 seems quite expensive though and the
irivers are no longer for sale. I haven't found other devices that work with
an external mic with a peak meter and gain setting. Does anyone know if the
IAudio has this, or will support it in the future with rockbox?

Connector ?
The ipod have recording with external devices that are not yet supported.
The x5 is known to have a line-in, so I guess your small portable
preamp would go there simply.
